How can I tell if a new case is bigger?

Vanquisher71 · May 23, 2017

I want to replace the case for my current PC, to allow for more upgrades in the future. Problem is, I don't know any details about my case and have tried unsuccessfully to. I can't post or link a photo of my old case, but here is the link for my new one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01D1QHWUK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_kVgjzb4DVVT35

If you need anymore details (excluding ones about my old case because there aren't any to give except the fact that it was a prebuilt by PC bought on Amazon by some company called OCHW), let me know

Do you have a tape measure or a ruler?

Vanquisher71 · May 23, 2017

Yeh I do, I just don't know what I have to measure

Vanquisher71 :

You asked..."is it bigger?"
That would seem to be a pretty obvious measurement.

The new case is:
"52 x 25.4 x 55.2 cm"

Is your old one larger or smaller than that?

What is most important is the form factor (atx, itx, micro atx). If you buy an Atx case your old motherboard will surelly fit.
Also, in case you plan on buying a new Gpu, the new case should have the maximum gpu size that fits there. I would advise not smaller as 30cm.
It usually also mentions the Psu size. That is pretty much standar nowadays so you dont have to worry about that.
See if it has or not a 5.25" bay in case u want a dvd player or something. And thats about it.

Ok I know the form factor is right. I'm talking about inside space. How do I correctly measure the inside of my case is part of what I'm trying to ask

Looking around, I can't find any real numbers on things that will fit.
Primarily, you are interested in the size of the GPU that will fit.

Since you don't have this CiT yet, impossible to say what length GPU will fit.
But it looks to be about average size.

take a photo of your existing case. (Not sure why couldn't you post one...)
We might able to tell what you've got.

Also, why do you think your existing case not enough room for future upgrade?
What upgrade are you after?

Looking at the photo of CiT case, it should fit most of the GPU.
